(KNOX) – North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley released the state’s 2024 crime data this week.

But the numbers also show a continuation in a pattern Wrigley said is concerning. Crime has slowly increased in the state since 2020.
“Is this new normal that you hear so much about in the communities?” Wrigley said. “The question remains, is this new plateau, are we just going to accept it? Are we just going to just say there’s nothing that we can do about it?”
